The Giver
What did the Giver mean when he told Jonas that honor is not the same as power?
The Giver Chapter 9-11
The Giver Chapter 9-11
Although honor causes people to respect you and often obey your wishes, power is might, strength. The ability to withstand hardship and get through challenges, mental and physical. A fraud could have cheated (without anyone knowing, of course) to get to the top and still be honored, but he wouldn't have as much power as honor.
